I haven’t really seen an instance where someone set out to write a mainly-comedic story while also being able to suddenly become dramatic and still keep the reader engaged. I mean, it’s ridiculously hard just to write 400+ pages of well-written story.Īlso, I had previously thought of comedic writing as being just about making the reader laugh ( Three Men in a Boat, for instance). Looking back on it, while I knew this book was supposed to be funny, I’m impressed that it was able to stay consistently funny for 400+ pages. However, I had no idea about that until I finished the audiobook and checked. No wonder Lamb was was more than 400 pages. What about the trips he and Joshua made to Asia for Joshua to learn how to become the messiah, for instance? Lamb covers their childhood, their journey along the Silk Road, and everything else that was in the original Bible. Cut to present-day: an angel resurrects Biff to write about his life with Joshua.Īccording to Biff, the Bible left out a lot. Apparently, Biff was Joshua’s childhood friend. This hilarious book is about Jesus and Levi, only for some reason Jesus is called Joshua and Levi is called Biff. ‘How much water will be required for the journey? Give your answer in firkins.’ ‘Five,’ Joshua said as soon as they stopped speaking ‘You didn’t show your work! You didn’t show your work!’ chanted the youngest of the priests.” And the wind is blowing southwest at two furlongs per hour.’ And on. ‘So the Sabbath ends, and they are able to resume, adding on the thousand steps allowed under law. ![]() ‘The three of them leave Jericho and head south, going 3.3 furlongs per hour, but they are leading two donkeys, which can carry two…’ And on. ‘A man dies and leaves no sons, but his wife marries his brother, who has three sons by his first wife.’ And on. Let’s let the meek… inherit the earth.’ ‘Can’t you give the earth to the whiners?’ ‘Well then, cut the whiners and give the earth to the meek.’” “ ‘Blessed are the poor in spirit, the pure in heart, the whiners, the meek, the-’ ‘Wait, what are we giving the meek?’ ‘Let’s see…uh… here! Blessed are the meek, for to them we shall say…”attaboy!”’ ‘A little weak.’ ‘Yeah. ![]() ‘Today’s lesson is… are you ready? Today’s lesson is, if someone puts poison in your tea, don’t drink it!’” ‘I thought you would tell me what’s in that House of Doom room.’ ‘No that is not the lesson today Guess again!’ My fingers and toes had begun to tingle ‘You’re going to teach me how to make the fire powder that Balthazar used the day we arrived?’ ‘No, silly.’ She pushed me lightly on the chest, and I fell over backward, unable to move. ‘Can you guess what your lesson is today?’ Joy asked. “ ‘Poison,’ Joy said ‘Ah,’ I said, and I tasted the tea.
